- 5. Theme of the Theory Hudson presented an essential theory of rural settlement. This theory is known as Evolution Theory. Hudson Presented this theory by analysing the history of settlement of that area of 90 years (1870-1960). The Theme of the theory is basically “The change of settlement distribution with reference to time.”
- 6. Completion of the Theory Colonisation 1st Stage Spread 2nd Stage Competition 3rd Stage 01 02 03
- 7. Colonisation Colonisation refers to establish on settlement in a new place. In this stage population density is very low. A few settlements are distributed in a scattered way. Natural or social facilities influence for growing up settlement. 01 02 03 04
- 9. Spread 01 New settlements will grow up and spread off in open space. 02 The settlements will increase horizontally. 03 The population size will increase and impact upon the natural resources. 04 Population will increase. 05
- 11. Competition The Third Stage More spread and create large settlement. Economic dominance is major. More exploitation of natural resources. The small and large settlements come under competition.
- 13. Criticism of the Theory The theory carry some scope to be criticized. In this theory the time space is rare. According to B. P, Birch, this model is unrealistic. According to D. Grossman, the change in density due to competition is disappointing. Duration of time for taking data is 90 years, which is so longer period. In many instances it is not possible.
